I tried this soup and it was very salty so I added more pumpkin. The extra pumpkin did not help. My husband and I both disliked the soup and we ended up throwing it away instead of eating it.

Fantastic, easy, tastey recipe. I doubled the spices (not the salt) and it was perfect. I also added 2 tsp of green curry powder which turned out to be a nice addition.

This turned out wonderful, though I changed it a bit. I boiled celery, onions, and carrots in the chicken broth until soft and then blended them in a blender. Then transferred the creamy base back to the pot and added the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice and curry.

This soup was an interesting addition to our Thanksgiving meal. I substituted the cream with nondairy creamer. Based on the other reviews and my personal taste, I added some red pepper and LOTS more of the spices (not the salt) to this soup. My family thought it was the perfect mix of sweetness with saltiness.

I thought the recipe as is was pretty bland, so I made several changes and it turned out much better. I cut the amount of broth in half because I wanted a thicker soup. I used about 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice instead of spices listed as well as an additional tsp cinnamon. I added about 3 TBS of brown sugar to make it sweeter and used whole milk instead of cream. The extra spice and sugar gave it more flavor.

This is delicious-and I even have a cold right now!! It tastes more like an onion/chicken soup with a thicker broth. I had something very similar to this out in Vermont-there they sprinkled it with sunflower seeds prior to serving, very good!! Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Delicious! I followed the recipe, except I sauteed chopped garlic with the onions. I used an immersion blender instead of pouring it in and out of the pot. I also doubled the seasonings, added freshly grated ginger, 1/4c. of brown sugar, 1/4c. maple syrup, 1/4 c. sour cream, couple dashes cayenne pepper and doubled the pumpkin puree until it was the consistency I preferred. It is such an easy recipe to throw together - and easy to spice it up if you want more flavors!

I made this for a dinner party and everyone was a little skeptical....but they ended up loving it! I added the cayanne pepper to the soup and didn't make the croutons. It was delicious! I am making this again for sure!

this soup is really good, but like with most recipes, you have to season it to your own particular taste. i put less onion and add half of a banana. the soup is "bland-ish" because... well... pumpkin by itself is bland. if you like spicier, add more cinammon and ginger. i also added cloves, nutmeg, and allspice. also, garnish with cayenne pepper... it makes the soup perfect.

This recipie was just okay. I decided to make my own Pumpkin Soup after tasting the one at Au Bon Pain. Unfortunately, this recipie didn't have the "umph" I was looking for. I think that 2 cans of chicken broth was too much - It wade the soup super watery. Also, I added triple the amount of cinnamon salt & ginger for flavor. I dont think I will be making this again. I did however, taste better thicken dramatically the next day. If I were to make this soup again, I would add double the amount of pumpkin puree as well.

The consistency of this soup is excellent. Slightly thick and very creamy. I would somewhat compare the taste to that of tomato soup, except with a pumpkin flavor. I added twice the amount of cinnamon and ginger and felt that it turned out well. Next time I will probably add sugar and curry to make it sweeter and more flavorful. Also, the onion was a bit strong. I might use less next time, but haven't yet decided.

It was OK. I was trying to recreate the pumpkin soup at Au Bon Pain, but this was a little less sweet, more salty. I did like the cinnamon croutons though, they are a keeper, but I think I'll keep looking for another pumpkin soup recipe.

This is an excellent base for either a savory or sweet cream of pumpkin soup. When I made it yesterday, I wanted a savory version for our family. I DOUBLED the recipe as given with the following adjustments: (1) Did NOT make the croutons (2) Used unsalted homemade chicken broth (3) Used total of 3 cans of pumpkin puree (4) Used total of 1 1/4 cups heavy cream (5) Used 3 teaspoons salt for total recipe (6) Added 1/2 tsp. Penzey's Chipotle ground red pepper (7) Added 1/2 tsp. Penzey's Ancho Chili pepper ground (8) Added 2 extra good shakes of cinnamon (9) Added fresh ground nutmeg (approx 1/4 tsp.) (10) Used an immersion blender right in the pan rather than pouring into a blender. This was a rich and delicious savory soup. It actually tastes even better the next day. I would suggest you start with only 1/4 tsp. of the Chipotle and Ancho ground peppers and taste and adjust according to your preferences.
